Strict control sustains efficiency in the field

The modernization of agriculture has expanded the need to integrate science, industry, and the field to ensure agronomic efficiency. According to Bruno Neves, a doctor in agronomy from the São Paulo State University (Unesp) and technical manager of BRQ Brasilquímica; and Gabrielle Capatto de Carvalho, a chemical engineer and quality control supervisor at BRQ, quality control has become a key piece, ensuring that the inputs deliver the expected results and maintain constant performance standards. Agricultural productivity is linked to the supply of nutrients, the absorption capacity of plants, and the local cultivation conditions. Agronomic efficiency expresses how much a system uses inputs, water, and energy in a balanced way, also reflecting sustainable practices. However, any variation in the purity, concentration, or solubility of the products compromises this performance, reinforcing the importance of rigorous control at all stages of industrial production. The sector faces ...
